Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner, Shampooer Machine, Lightweight, FH50700, Blue

I was in the market for a carpet/upholstery cleaner and wanted to do some research before buying. There are so many out there its hard to decide which is the best. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and this model was at the top of their list, scoring 4/5 for every category except noise, where it scored a 2/5. After using it, I can say its no louder than a vacuum, so this is not a big deal for me. This model was closely followed by the Bissel Pro Heat 2X Lift-Off Pet but its about $100 more. After using this on a heavily stained 9x12 area rug, Im absolutely thrilled with the results! It removed every single stain, and my rug looks like new again. This cleaner did an excellent job scrubbing and removing the water afterwards. I really like that you can see it sucking up the dirty water, so you know when the carpet is finally clean. It also comes with a long hose and tools for upholstery cleaning as well. The machine itself is easy to operate and clean afterwards. Im extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it!

I have had this carpet cleaner for over 2 years and it has been fantastic. I have had to use it so many times to either clean messes that the kids or pets have made. This has actually done a very great job at cleaning my carpets this entire time. The one real issue I have with this model is the Dirty Water Container. There is only one port hole that you use to empty dirty water and try to clean it out. You cannot give this container any proper cleaning what so ever and that was something I really wish I knew about before I bought it. Not having been able to properly clean it out this entire time has given this thing a weird funk smell and I do not want to pay the $60 just to buy a new container that I will continue to have the same issue. I just upgraded to the SmartWash Model, that was just one sale, but honestly you can get the Advanced Model and it will work just a great as this one PLUS you can actually open the lid to the Dirty Water Container and can actually clean it out properly after each use. Other than that one issue, I have had no other issues with this. That cleaner was used to clean multiple rooms almost weekly and it was honestly still running strong.

Easy assembly easy fill water/ cleaner bottle and easy empty dieting water empty process. Used one time one day after delivery and cleaned 2 bedroom light color carpers one long runner closet carpet one hallway runner carpet 2 small bathroom carpet mats and one medium living room center carpet, this required 3 full clean water bottles with cleaner but cleaning was exceptionally good with hoover cleaning liquid supplied with small bottle already all used up. Pet stains from one cat were removed 90 percent and a weekly clean with this machine will keep carpets rugs looking very good for a long time. Lightweight and easy to move around on carpets it really lifted a lot of dirty brown water . The best policy is to not over wet the carpets rugs and so greatly reduce drying time. Additional cleaning weekly will improve carpet appearance even more. Great price for a great little cleaner . Highly recommended for its cleaning ability at this time of writing.

For the price and size it does really good justice.

My carpet was heavily soiled from years of only getting a a good cleaning when I had time and money to rent one. I did the best I could with vacuuming and spot treating and hand scrubbing between rentals, but with 2 small children a dog and a husband tracking in and out of the house all the time once a year deep cleaning was not enough. So I purchased this little Hoover, partially because it was small and I dont have a ton of storage space. I dont mind the small water tanks as I have to pause frequently to care for my little ones, and the small tanks make it lighter and easier to maneuver. Speaking of maneuvering, this little beast handles just like a vacuum cleaner, I wasnt expecting that but am very pleased that it handles so well. It does leave little balls of pet hair when it builds up in the brush, but I just pick those up with a paper towel and toss them out, so not a huge problem for me. As its been a while since the last cleaning, I went over the area that I decided to start with 3 times, and the suction is great, I had to go over the heavier soiled areas more, but I expected that. The picture I submitted shows how soiled the pathway was and how clean this little machine got it! I am very pleased with it.

I cannot get over how dirty the water was! Such a good cleaner. Only down size, small tank. Had to empty it 2 or 3 times per room.

I wasnt expecting much, but this little cleaner has good power. We have pets at home, and this does a great job collecting so much fur from our rugs. We also have a couple aquariums at home, and twice Ive used this to gather up water after a leak. I just wish there was a way to lift up the brush panel so that I can clean out the nasty fur thats collected on it, but thats my only gripe.

I love this carpet cleaner..It is not real big and easy to pull out for smaller jobs. I do clean my whole rooms with it too.. I have pets and it is great on stains. The price was fantastic.

This little machine is awesome on pet stains, as it cleans carpets thoroughly. It’s a small machine. Ideally for area rugs or other small areas. Takes about three hours and five refills/empties to clean the entirety of a bout 600sqft. Breaks down compactly (handle removable) to fit into small spaces. All in all, I’ve been super impressed with this machine, it’s been a lifesaver in my apartment with my elderly dog that sometimes has accidents.

Okay so like everyone else I have a dog and dogs have dirty feet. Im currently in a rental with wall to wall carpet. Did I tell you how much I hate wall to wall carpet? So there are definitely spots that need cleaning more frequently than the rest. I have a little green machine from Bissell for accidents but who wants to clean up a walkway or the place where your dog lays all the time with that little thing. Im getting too old to jerk around with those huge rental carpet cleaners and the previous household ones that Ive looked at are also fairly heavy and I dont have space to store them. One day I was wandering through the appliance section in the store and I saw this and was immediately intrigued so I went on Amazon and I read all the reviews. I purchased it and its perfect for what I need. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because of the plate on the bottom to take the brush out so you can clean all the dog hair out of there. Six screws, come on Hoover you can figure out something better than that. And the screws dont really fit any of my screwdrivers well and Im afraid Im going to strip out the heads of them. The water tanks are small and have to be replenished or dumped out often but its worth it to me for this small machine thats easy to store its light and easy for me to use and I can do those areas of my carpet easily that make me cringe when I have people over without having to rent a big machine.
